LYRICS
Take a deep, waking breath
Hope the blood arrives
Burn my eyes with the sun
And pretend I’m alive
It never will appear
Strong as past desire
Light warming disappears
Like a cold, dead fire
Should I fall, I fall down
Would you come, you come round
Wake me
Caught in the spell, I’m dreaming
Wake me
Day after day, repeating
Wake me
Sleepwalk my life away
Stagger on through the fog
In the midnight sun
Shouting out at the shapes
Of the nameless no ones
All isn’t what it seems
Cannot comprehend it
Captive inside a dream
Where the dawn won’t end it
Should I fall, I fall down
Would you come, you come round
Wake me
Caught in the spell, I’m dreaming
Wake me
Day after day, repeating
Wake me
Sleepwalk my life away
Should I fall, I fall down
Would you come, you come round
Wake me
Caught in the spell, I’m dreaming
Wake me
Day after day repeating
Wake me
Sleepwalk my life away

As a shift worker, I connect with this song so much in my own interpretation. Getting woken up with a headache from the midday heat, stumbling to the coffee machine with my eyes half closed feeling the walls for direction. Sitting in the blinding sun with my coffee trying to get some vitamin D before I go to work. Starting my shift as the sun goes down and finishing in the pitch black, you have the highway to yourself, the gym to yourself, 24hr grocery store to yourself. Friends stop calling eventually as you work nights. It feels like you have the world to yourself but you're alone. It really feels like one big sleepwalk. My favourite song on the album so far.

[@RalphMayers]

James's vocals become better and better through the years,it's absolutely amazing!

[@archangel5627]

James’ vocals have been really good whether live or in the studio for the past several years because his vocals have finally matured. With that being said, there was a period during the late 90s and early 2000s when James’ vocals weren’t that good and that’s because he blew his voice out during the Reload era and it took a long time for them to come back. Since Hardwired to Self Destruct I feel as though his vocals have been on fire and this album showcases some really excellent vocal work by James. Not only does he sound great but the entire band sounds really tight.

You must be deaf Metallica are just bad now they will never be a thrash Metal band ever again. Hetfield is just an old man trying to sound like he did in the 80s but failing miserably. His marriage has failed he's become an alcoholic again and he's trying to hold onto his band that sounds like a soft rock band that plays at weddings. And calling him Pappa het just makes him more of an old man that is getting closer to living in a retirement home.

@@308dad8 I've read up all the lyrics to these songs, and James clearly is writing some very personal lyrics in a number of these tracks. Also, looking back at the history of metal, not all of it is filled with angst and hate. Punk had a lot of hate and angst, but not all metal (even then, not all punk is angst and hate either). I'm reading a lot from fans saying these songs are helping them through their own angst and troubled times, so Metallica is doing something right with this album. I also watched them live on Kimmel, James has enough wind left. Alternative? Alternative sounds a lot different now than it did in the 1990s when I was growing up.

​@@mathiasbirkp it is possible to sound exactly like the studio version when playing live

[@trevorbyrne4668]

@@OptimusX1972 Course there's some studio magic. But even live nowadays he's at a far higher level than he has been for years. His voice can break and falter at times live, but so it goes. For a long time it seemed he'd lost the attack in his voice, the weight and gravel and snarl. I guess he needed rest and some instruction (or whatever it was), because he has those qualities back - even when singing live. It's not just that, though. On Load/Reload, both of which I love, James sounded superb partly because he tapped into an expressive way of singing that the 80s songs didn't even allow for. He's brilliant on those two albums, a genuinely fine, interesting vocalist. The thrashier stuff doesn't let him do that. 72 Seasons has more of a Load vibe, but has some thrashier elements too (instrumentally). This encourages James to go bluesy as on Load, but the heavier instrumentation means he gets more aggressive at times, too. Great combo for him. (None of this is to take from James' late 80s, AJFA voice, which was fearsome, spine-tingling stuff. Really ferocious, but with control too. He doesn't do that now, but how he sounds today is arguably the best since then... with Load era vying for the top spot, too. Though like I said I prefer this perhaps because of the extra aggression where needed...) Ramble over!

[@DDxRaptor]

This sounds like a better version 'Now that we're dead' with more punch, more speed. I actually love this, I guess this is my favourite '72S' song so far! Good job guys!

I must admit, this is one of my favorites on the album besides Inamorata and 72. The riff after the solo goes SO HARD, and the entire song puts a big smile on my face. Long live Metallica!! 🤘🤘

seriously, i cannot pick a favorite. it keeps changing. thats how good this record is. and for the first time, i do not have a least favorite. i thought i did, but i changed my mind. every song (yes, every) kicks a**. the riffs are killer and stay stuck with you for a long time, the message is well received and appreciated, and the headbanging is non stop. i think they did this one for the fans. they didnt have to, but they did. thank you Metallica for saving me so many times!
